Sweet Words.

MY dearest of Mothers" heard the
words repeated in soft tones by my next
door neighbor at an island farmhouse
where we were sojourning. "My dear
est of mothers" Ny friend was widow,
and her son an affectionate talented fellow,
was engineering in Idaho. In one of his
late letters he said at the close: "And
now, my dearest of mothers, goodby."
petting phrase would please the heart that
loved him SO Did he think that she
would say it over softly to herself as she
sat alone in her room?
The home days were over. The babies,
with their sweet ways, their joy giving
and trouble making, had grown to noisy
boys, then to self asserting men; they
were out in the world, making their way
brains busy, thoughts absorbed, hearts
full yet here was one who remembered
the mother, still in middle life. loving
and needing love the same as when her
boys were her very own in the dear child
home. He wrote long letters, describing
his adventurous, changeable life; the
strange companions by whom he was sur
rounded: the wondrous scenery of the
wide western world. It was all intensely
enjoyed; but better than all werethe love-
phrases that showed the sons affectionate
heart. wonder if the boys know how
dear they are to their mothers. and how
little attentions. little gifts, tender words,
flying visits, cheer and warm the hearts
that have born the test of years of sorrow
| Life is little chilly to mothers whose
homes are things of the past. Even il
they remain in the old home, the rooms
seem very bare and silent after the chill
dren are gone. 1t is as if summer had
flown, with its nests and bird songs, and
autumn.winds were blowing. Then the love
of the sons and daughters is like sunshine
or warm fires to the hearts that sadly miss
them. Let us hope that there are many
sons who write. my dearest of mothers. y

HYoung ladies knew bow charming they
appear when playing the violin. they
would be still more enthusiastic about it.
A pretty hand and arm may be thus dis
played to very great advantage.
But they should not attempt the display
of their personal charms or musical skill
until they have obtained some notable de-
gree of proficiency upon the violin. The
instrument is horrible in the hands of a

A LEGEND OF GOOD ST. VALENTINE.
St. Valentino at Peter,s gate

st. Valentine at Peters gate
Did knock with might and main,
'Let me out for once, ere tits too late;
My time has come again"
Then Peter slowly turned the KEY,
And let the good saint 60.
II was the fourteenth Of Februaree,
And the ground was white with snow.
The saint he smiled as he paced Broadway,
His teeth CLEANED clear and pearly,
For he actually hadn't been out In broad day
Since In the third century-early.
But love,n thought he, land life and youth
Are surely the same as Of yore,
III just 90 around and discover the truth,
And make things as nice, II not more"
lie really expected to be amused
When he paid his first morning call;
But the ladies begged to be excused"
They'd been all night at ball.
SO the saint In wonder turned away,
And brayely tried once more
But here they all had visits TO pay,
And the footman showed him the door.
Dul ut sun htpt oHi anu hicu III hihuo
The good, the grave, the busy;
He saw all sorts Of brains and minds,
Till they fairly turned him dizzy.
For one was practising Mendelssohn
Alone in her maiden bower;
Another was carving an old dry bone,
While third read Schopenhauer.
A fourth in water and oils could paint
All things beneath and above;
A fifth In good works was a perfect saint;
But they'd none of 'em time to love.
Sadly St. Valentine loated back
To the gate Of good st. Peter
"Alasw cried he ''of girls there's no lack,
And must say ! seldom saw sweeter
"They're good and pretty, gay and wise;
They're nothing II not pedantic;
They know what they like and what they
despise
But they don't seem TO be romdntic.n
Then StPeter changed the brazen gate
And let in the dear old sinner,
Who'd been up early and staid out late,
And probably wanted his dinner
MORAL.
] pray, sweet maids and youths, beware,
And mind what you're about;
For now the saints around, take care,
Don't let him find you out"

most extensive maker OF clocks Of the
colonial style in this country. He In
vented the famous Willard time piece.
His hall clocks were all eight-day
clocks, and were usually seven feet
high, all cased in plain mahogany, witt
fret work across the top, surmountec
by three good-sized brass balls. In 1871
he made the clock in old st. Georges,
in Beekman street, New York. which
kept the standard time for many years.
The prices of colonial clocks range
from $50 to 800. 1t took from tire,
to four months to get II clock made by
the smaller makers, and then usually ,
longer time elapsed before the maker
received his pay. The pay was often ir
merchandise. None but the wealthy
could afford clocks in those early days.
Sun dals were very common until the
Connecticut hang-up wood clocks begar
to be made in 1890 and sold mt 500 each.
BY 1926 hall clocks had almost been su.

Miss Arden'S Valentine.

Allie Arden stood at the window of
her cosy little room gazing dreamily
out at the broken ira of passers BY
IL was ST. Valentines day. Now a
rough. good na;ured, labor'ng man
dashed by. crumpling comcal carl
caturc in his brawny hands, and fol-
lowed by a bevy of teasing, chuckling
boys; then dude strobe languidly
along. raptuously perusing some senti-
mental verses his lady love had sent
him; and lastly came group OF merry
madens laughing and chatting over the
receipt of n promscious lot of valen-
tines. some from inveterate teasers,
others from their sweethearts. On
nearly every face was depicted antici-
patton and pleasure.
Even Bddy, the house maid at the
private dwelling where Miss Arden
boarded. had been the recipient of to-
ken of remembrance on this particular
saints day, when people take delight
In paying the + respects to one another.
Miss Arden. the village school-mistress,
alone seemed to be neglected on this oc-
cason.
Allie Arden was not what would be
termed pretty woman. Her features
were IRREGULAR but expressive, her ewes
were dark and loving, and her wavy
black hair was ever Il model of taste, as
was also her ent re personal appearance.
Her chief attraction was her gentle and
courteous manner. Every one found
In her an appreciative and sympathetic
friend. She had seen perhaps thirty
summers, and was alone in the world.
Some eight or ne years before, she had
come to F., and shortly after secur-
cd position as principal of the public
school, which she had successfully held
ever since. What her life had been
prior to her arrival in the village, very
little was known, save that on the death
OF her uncle, her only known relative
aud with whom she made her home,
she had come hither to seek employ
ment, and meeting with general salts
faction, had remained. Although she
was noted for her loving and respons.ve
heart. vet she had resolutelyheld her suit
ors at bay. until the villagers had long
ago banishcd the idea of her ever marry
ing. Yet Miss Arden had mad her dream
of love. Ii was Of this she was thinking
as she gazed into the snow-clad street
All. how the day and its scenes remind
ed her of her first sweet valentine! She
was but schoolgirl then. and Rupert
Moore. one of her school-mates. had
aties.cd his preference for her by send
ing her the prettiest little valentine inn
aginahle. Later on their friendship
ripcned into love and they became be-
throthed. But alas. some misunder-
standing arose between them; they
quarreled and parted, Rupert Moore
going abroad. Scarcely year later
Allies uncle died and she left the place
that was fraught with so many sad ex-
periences.
